Sure there's Desert Storm but Vietnam was something bigger, more controversial, and it shadowed American culture like a vulture.
I'd probaably leave Vietnam in the backstory of characters like Snake Eyes, and either tell stories set in the 80s or create the current crop of Joes. Charlie Beckwith may have founded Delta Force, but he's not running it these days - you could the same with the Joes.
And yeah, I'd leave Snake Eyes mute and not show his face. (Or at least have it be more screwed up than MD Bright drew it in the Snake Eyes trilogy)
